The present invention relates to calendars, and more lparticularlyv to calendars vvof that type which are in block form'and are suitable either for hanging on a Wall or for use L@ on Writing'tables, desks, etc.

It is the object of the invention to generally in card form, the containers for the cards are' apt to be ofcomplicated construction.

An entirely different Vmethod of obtaining the same advantages'is` adopted by the sub# ject matter of invention, vv'hichconsistsbf a calendar of the blocktype suitable either for the displayof advertisingmatter." The in'- vention resides in` the fact that the single,A

leaves ofthe calendar are composed of a transparent material on which there are pro vided opaque sections bearing the date and the day, the Vname of the month being furnished on a separateepaque sheet arranged at'the back of the transparent day through 'all transparent sheets arranged in' front thereof. j i

A particularly advantageous form of embodiment is obtainedV by utilizing the remaining portions of the opaque sheet bearing the name of the month for` the display `of ad vertising matter, announcements, etc., which thus remain visible through 'the transparent day sheets throughout the Whole month;

The transparent day sheets Aare preferably furnised with an opaque Vportion for'making notes', reminders, etc.

The Vinvention is i example in the accompanying drawing, in which f f adorning a Vvvall or for use on Writing tables,`

desks, etc.` and at the same time suitable for i'. sheet, so that the name of themonth is'visible I llustrated by ,i Waylof l.

Fig. is a front v ievv ofthe calendar, Fig.; 2 anelevation,

Fig.. 34a single ransparent'day sheet, and Fig. 4L an opaque sheet bearing the name. of the month.

In accordance With theparticula'rlday of,

KARL MAX- the month the transparent sheets l fur-' nished with the day of the Week V2 andthe date 3 are united in block formation Withl an opaque sheet ,4, bearing the name of the month 5, advertising matter 6 or anyfother desired' inscription. sheets l 'there may u' also be provided an opaque portion 7 which permits of notations `or any other form of record being made. The surfaces, on which the names of the Week days andthe dates areprinted, are madeV dark, as compared Avviththe free parts ofthe that they are opaque. The rendering opaquey (or covering may, for example, be'ef'fected by printing With al suitable White or Vlight colored sheets in question, or may be so constructed.

On v'the transparent 1" ink', preferablyby means of abodyf paint,

Which can be Written upon'with ink or pencil for the note space '7. j

The 'use or transparent sheets for theVV puri pose in question offers quite important adsaving'is effected as regards printing, as the majority of inscriptions such as the day ofy vantages' and alsoa very considerable amount 'of saving. In the first place considerable f the month," name of the, month, number of days in themonth, etc., Which have hitherto been printed oneach singlevsheet, require to' be printed only oncejfor each month. Ithas hitherto been `necessary to print'these inscriptions roughly'V thirty times for each month.` By using the transparent sheet according to the invention in placeV of theusual paper each month necessitates merely one gprint, and the" arrangement is preferably` size of the calendar sheet is inserted after each 'calendar month.. This sheet is `furnished ,With the inscriptions referred to above, Which yellovv,V in color. j .Suitable phosphorescent colors`1 luminous aunght may also be emsuch thatja dark blue printed sheet of thel .f

mil

' ployed. For obtaining a novel and very effective form of advertisement suitable an-` nouncements, for example advertising the products ofthe hrm issuing the calendar, may v also be included. on the printed sheet, these being in the same bright color as the remain- Ying matter. By reason of the .transparency i Y of thersheets employed in place of the usual opaque paper sheets both the actual calendar inscriptions as. Well as the.; advertisingY matter are brought daily to .noti:ce,..wh1ch..

considerably increases the effect ofthe advertisernent. The printed sheet may varyffrom monthto month, for example the advertis- .y ing matter on the one sheetdiiferingto thatk on the sheet for the preceding month, `and as beforethe matter inquestionfwill be ucts may be brought daily to notice each day throughout the month. There yis no doubt that thisentirely novel method of advertising offers con'V siderable advantages, asy during thecourse of Y one complete ear a large number 'of prodf hrought ydaily to notice Without any considerable expense incurred by printing. The effect ofthe advertisement or A announcement is moreover in sofar'novelV as by the use of thebrightlyfcolored ink on thefdarkblue paper aftransparent Window isja considerable saving as. regards .print-V4 'advertisingmatten twelve times, whereby is distinctly novel -as compared with heretoj advertisement is obtained having anv in-,f

This lightingei'ect Aterior lighting effect.

`is amplified each day as the month roceeds.

The vefl'eot in question is obtained c ielyby the use of the transparent sheets. and `is am-V plified by tlieemployment of suitable and vstriking colors.'l By the fact that printing is required only once foreach month ythere ing costs. Whereas fin the `case-.ofV anormal year it has been necessary VWith calendars `of y.the usualv type having ordinary paper leaves Vto print both the kactual calendar inscrip;-

tions as Well as the particular advertising matter 365 times, it ismerely necessary aceording to the invention to print the majority of the inscriptions, including the kWhole of the the efectof the advertisement thus obtained tore. The opaque surfaces of the sheets may eonsistof body White, Whereas for the printing of the dates and Week days, ablack or dark4 green may, for example, be employed.

Itrfwill be understood tha-tno restriction is made yto the specific form of. embodiment shown ,in the drawing, and .that various modifications arel quite .possiblefwirthin the meaning of the'above and the annexed claims Aat Without departing from the spirit ofrthe invention.
